Your Brother In Christ,
John Gallardo President-SJSPW 2007/10/12 First release Newsletter for Invitation to Christian DiscipleshipAfter many years the Newsletter is back with the same format as originally done in 1970's. It starts off with an excerpt of a scriptural study on one of the lessons- short summary with a mediation to reflect on.
WORD OF GOD by Father James O’Bryan The Word of God is not like rain falling upon a tin roof. The message once heard cannot be dismissed as so much verbal noise. It forces a decision. (Not to decide is a decision) “Indeed”, says our author, “God’s word is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword” (Heb. 4:12a). This Divine Wisdom is much more than objective truth that presents itself before the tribunal of human reason for its acceptance or rejection. The Word of God becomes a moral force in the life of the hearer. It does not lie like fallen seed in a field. It is alive and active, and this implies the power of self-determination within itself. It moves and operates under its own steam. It knocks for entrance at the door of the spirit. It forces its acceptance or rejection to become a personal decision at a person’s deepest level. The spirit must respond either by accepting it or expelling it. Its expulsion may be rationalized away, but the decision is not solely made on the intellectual level but on a much higher one. Our author describes the power of this “living and active” Word: “It penetrates and divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the reflections and thoughts of the heart” (Heb.4:12b). Question: “How does the Word of God affect your life today? You are invited to submit your answer to the above question by either emailing to Kathy Godbout at krgodbout@cox.net or by faxing (949) 369-7601 Your answer maybe shared with our readers in our next newsletter.

Peace and Joy John M Gallardo President PS Read below the Organization history of this 41 year old Catholic Bible Study. The St. Joseph Society for the Propagation of The Word Presents:
An Invitation to Christian Discipleship James P. O’Bryan, S.T., Author and Presenter
It was the early 1970’s when a group of laywomen in Orange, CA approached Fr. O’Bryan about the lack of Catholic Bible studies in Orange County. There was, of course, the Protestant group nearby that had signed up over 200 Catholics to their study. Father knew he couldn’t do the work without a great deal of assistance. Volunteers stepped up to do the logistical tasks and Father worked with the Holy Spirit to provide the works. This was the beginning of his “seven year sentence”. Working 60 – 65 hours per week, he was never more than two weeks ahead and, most of the time, he was working with less than a day to presentation time. His work was all hand written and needed to be typed and copied for distribution. These two hour sessions (1 hour sharing + 1 hour lecture) were attended by approximately 400 people weekly, split between a morning and an evening class. Father swears he never rewrote a word; “I didn’t have time’, he said.
Father’s efforts resulted in a seven year study plus several spin-off works used for educating Catholics around the world. The seven year study includes:
- The Invitation (Intro to discipleship) - Hebrews - The Gospel of St. Mark - 1 Thessalonians - The Gospel of St. Luke - 2 Thessalonians - Acts of the Apostles - 1 Corinthians - The Gospel of St. Matthew - 2 Corinthians - The Gospel of St. John - Galatians - Romans - Revelation
Other excellent teaching materials, often used in RCIA and formation classes, are the result of Father’s dedication to the laity. These materials include, “Christian with a Capital C”, “Rock Foundation Revisited” and “On Eagle’s Wings”. In 2005, a Group was formed to help publish and distribute Father’s work. The St. Joseph Society for the Propagation of The Word, Inc. has been instrumental in setting up a web site at http://www.invitetodiscipleship.org and taking on the ministry of spreading the Gospel by promoting the instructional works of Fr. O’Bryan. A complete listing of available materials can be found on this web site. Materials available include teacher’s manuals, student workbooks and CDs of lectures.
This study is designed to be presented by the laity or religious. Guidelines are available for starting a study group. Of particular interest is the fact that these studies are accredited by the Catechetical Institute of Orange County and have the Imprimatur through the Bishop of Orange, California. Check the web site for a study near you, or start one today.
Be advised, this is an “in depth” study of the scriptures so that the Word of Christ, rich as it is, might dwell in us. “Thus you will be able to grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and heights and depth of Christ’s love, and experience this love which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may attain to the fullness of God Himself” (Eph. 3:18-19).
